Question 1

What is in pumpkin pie spice?

Accepted Answer

If you do not have any pumpkin pie spice mix on hand, it is easy to make your own. Simply mix 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of cloves, 3/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Some recipes also call for 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, but you do not have to use it unless you want to.

Question 2

Can I make this with canned pumpkin pie filling?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are short on time, feel free to go with a canned version. However, I would recommend making it yourself. This way, you know exactly what goes into it, and you can control the flavors and the spices. That way you end up with the best pie.

Question 3

Why do you put maple syrup in your pumpkin pie?

Accepted Answer

Although this recipe calls for maple syrup, you could also use granulated sugar or some kind of sugar substitute. The syrup just gives it just the right amount of sweetness with a lower glycemic index. Also, because it is sweeter than sugar, you do not have to use it as much.
